It may have a clean title, but it’s not without its blemishes. Just for kicks I pulled the Carfax on it.
I hate it when I park a car and the serpentine belt and coolant lines go.
In this day in age, credit unions aren’t handing out 0% (or other extremely low interest rate loans) as readily as car companies/dealerships.
No, but a lot of people don’t want more front wheelspin, torque steer, etc. from the higher output motor?
More people die of Heart Disease. We NEED autonomous food purchasers so we dont leave it up to the consumer to choose how to fuel their bodies, they are killing themselves at an alarming rate.
I feel proper driver training and accountability would eliminate the majority. It’s also something that could realistically happen in a very short period of time.
Taxi services and law enforcement exist already.
Frankly, there are places in the world where you can go that fast, and the roads are safer than we have in the US. We should be adopting the practices of those places before talking about taking people’s ability to drive away from them.
Well that’s obviously the tricky part! I would support stricter licensing/testing requirement, increased penalties, and enforcement of the rules that exist. It would cost more, but surely we’ll be spending a bunch on infrastructure to support the autonomous cars otherwise.
I don’t care about libertarian viewpoints. All I care is that people think an entire solution through before praising it like it’s created by some higher power.
This must be how Rachel Carson felt like when she was warning people about DDT.
No. Rail systems are still going to be used as they are cheaper per mile, per ton than almost any other means of transportation (assuming we can keep them maintained). The “last mile” is where the trucks come into play and also costs the most not only because of the cost of energy, but also because of the humans…
Yeah, just like the guns. Some folks aren’t responsible with guns, so obviously the problem is guns. Other folks aren’t responsible with cars, so clearly the problem is cars.
And just so we are clear - I do think that you are correct. If you eliminate the human factor of operating a vehicle, I think deaths would go down further than just education alone. With that being said, I would much rather make people accountable for their actions and lose a few in the process than giving up our…
Better driver training and holding drivers responsible for their actions would go a lot further.
The demand is from industry. They want autonomous trucks so they can eliminate jobs and save a shit ton of money while transporting more goods. The only way to have these trucks are to A) Make a dedicated road system for them to drive on/ make a system to handle human drivers or B) Make it so everyone’s vehicle…
Millions of people die each year from various things; you could make your “argument” about any “solution” for any of those causes, but if said “solutions” aren’t ready, then they need to wait until they are.
How about giving us better headlights. The entire world is already moving onto laser headlights.
1. Maybe self-regulation of an industry whose motto is “move fast and break things” wasn’t such a good idea when it comes to a device that can do that literally.
